@Mickyou: If you want to uninstall Babylon I think you can do so from the "Add/Remove Programs" dialog in the Windows Control Panel.

GoogleToolbar_64.dll comes with the 64-bit version of the Google Toolbar. The file is digitally signed by Google, so it legit.

Please let me know if you get any errors related to GoogleToolbar_64.dll or the Google Toolbar and I'll see what I can do to sort them out.

Hello, from such a novice that I don't even KNOW HOW to answer the request for my website's URL...what's that?
Anyway, while bumping around on one of my various mindless tasks, it was brought to my attention my 'puter is running 32-bit Windows.
Again, in reference to my first comment, I couldn't tell you what the difference is between 64 & 32-bit anything, let alone the Windows system-but I do know I run 64-bit Windows!
My impression is it's important to be co-ordinated.
While trying to figure THAT out, well, here I am.
NOW, I'm faced with two questions: how to return to the 64-bit Windows and should I make use of the service your site seems to be offering?
Will one help the other?
My experience has always been, once a question regarding the 'puter opens, faster than a rabbit in mating season, more appear, just like now!
So, a response to whichever you choose would be helpful. A response to all 3, I'll be grateful. Responses to all 3 which resolve whatever is happening now, and I'll sign up, donate through my PayPal account AND tell my story over and over (if you WANT a user like me to be one of your users, that is, please advise).
Thank you, respectfully, Susan

@Susan: In the "website URL" field you can add the address to your "home" on the Internet. Some put a link to their blog, others to their Facebook page.

I definitely think you should take use of the service freefixer.com offers. You can download the FreeFixer program and try it out. Currently it scans your computer in 40+ locations where unwanted software might hook into the system. FreeFixer reports a large scan result where you can examine individual files and settings. In general, the majority of the items in the scan result comes from legitimate programs, but sometimes unwanted software can be revealed. In that case the FreeFixer program can delete the unwanted software.

If you click on items in the FreeFixer scan result, it will open up your web browser and show info on the item you clicked. On that info page users can leave comments and collaboratively figure out if the item is legitimate or if it should be removed.

How do I go about deleting the 64 file? what do I look for? I know there is a virus it will not let me on to the internet. I also get a popup that will not go away saying that system32\pcprotect64.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. ect ect. I have tried to restore to an early date but that did not help.

@Susan: It should be possible to uninstall the Google Toolbar from the Windows Control Panel. That should remove the GoogleToolbar_64.dll file. Did that solve the problem?
